Understanding your options
Restorations planned to look natural and function well.
The right restoration depends on how much tooth remains, the position of the gap, bite forces and the health of supporting teeth and gums. Alternatives are discussed before preparation begins.
You may need an assessment for
- A heavily filled, cracked or root canal treated tooth
- A missing tooth with suitable support on either side
- A restoration that is loose, worn or no longer comfortable
Planning usually considers
- Remaining tooth structure and gum health
- Material, shade, shape and bite contact
- Cleaning access and alternatives such as an implant
